Imagine a world where technology dissolves the boundaries between us

Ambitious? yes i think so too.. but again, our school has a knack for last minute contest entries. a prototype and program description is due in december and guess what, no idea whatsoever on .Net technology. a book is too expensive so i'm currently trying to search for an online tutorial or downloadable ebook. been racking my brain for an idea but none is coming yet. i'll try to think more later. right now i'm reading a manual on how to tune a drum set ^_^.

changes

i just realized that i hate it when things upset my schedule. i ABSOLUTELY hate it. don't YOU just hate it when all of a sudden things cancel and things come up? i mean, you set your mind to do a few things, you make plans and all of a sudden *poof* there goes all your planning and your hope to get your life more organized 'cause you find out that people and stuff suddenly changed plans.

i'm especially irritated more than grateful when one minute i feel like i don't have enough time on my hands and then the next minute you don't have a single thing to do anymore! i have too little to do the rest of my upcoming tasks and i'm not in the right place to do it! *grrr*

One word to describe my last semester: FAILURE. I've never had lower grades than last sem's. Though i would say, i deserve it since most of the sem i didn't go to class on some subjects. I should be rejoicing that i even passed the subjectS! note: SUBJECTSSSSS.

I guess i had too many commitments on my part. I was juggling so many things at the same time that even if i had the best time management system in the world i wouldn' t be able to do everything i'm supposed to do.

This sem, i'm starting over. I guess my best achievement so far is getting up at 530 in the morning. That's a big difference from the time i used to wake up. (it used to be around 1030 to 1130 in the morning :D) I set my classes to to all start in the morning so i have more time in the afternoon to do my extra curricular activities. i hope my plan works.

anyway, i have one more sem to go and it's going to be thesis time. i'm thinking of doing my thesis individually, as i have a hard time working with other people. i know that's a bad thing but i'd really much rather work alone since i have so many things to do, aside from work here at school, i've also got a lot of responsibility at my church. my time is really unpredictable so i think it would be best. am i being defensive?

anyway today we have a meeting with the Engg Webteam. We have to make our plans for the team. We have so many projects due in so little time!! it seems that i'm not the only one having issues with time management ^_^.

i also applied with a company just outside of UP as a part time programmer. i sent in my resume yesterday but i haven't gotten a reply yet. i hope it turns out alright. i know, i know. i'm taking in more than i can handle again. but i'm also in a really big financial rut that's why i need the work!

what else can i say about myself.. hmmm.. i can't think of any more yet. I'll get back to you when i get something new.
